  • Patent number: 9168775
    Abstract: A stamp includes a printing unit and an actuator unit. The printing unit is connected to the actuator unit by a connecting element. The printing unit includes a support element and a printing plate the cross section of which is round. The printing plate is stabilized by the support element. The printing unit is moveable from a neutral setting into a print setting through axial displacement by the actuator unit. The printing plate can be moved further by axial displacement into a positioning setting wherein the printing plate can be rotated in its angular position relative to the actuator unit.

  • Patent number: 9132683
    Abstract: A stamp includes a printing unit and an actuator unit connected thereto by a connecting element. A printing plate is arranged in or on the printing unit to be moved from a neutral position into a printing position against a resetting force. The printing unit is arranged within a housing, including a support element having a pan bottom and at least one contiguous lateral wall stabilizing an ink storage body for receiving stamp ink. The printing plate is arranged abutting against the ink storage body for accepting stamp ink. The support element includes at least one sealable liquid-tight opening in the pan bottom that can be used to connect the support element to the actuator unit of the stamp and/or which can serve as a refill opening for stamp ink.

  • Patent number: 8695496
    Abstract: The invention describes an insert element (1) for a stamp, with several setting wheels (9) disposed adjacent to one another which are rotatably mounted on a shaft (7) of an insert body (2). The setting wheels (9) are designed to support typeface belts (10). The typeface belts (10) are covered at least in the region of the setting wheels (9) by a cover element (12) which in turn has end regions (19, 20) spaced apart from one another in the direction of the shaft (7) and is provided with slots (13) through which setting wheel circumferences (11) extend. In order to couple the cover element (12) with the insert body (2), at least one coupling mechanism (15) is provided, which comprises respective co-operating coupling elements (16, 17) on the insert body (2) and on the cover element (12).

  • Publication number: 20130312627
    Abstract: The invention describes a stamp, a printing unit, a semi-finished product, a stamp cartridge and a process for saturating an ink storage body with stamp ink. The stamp includes a printing unit and an actuator unit. A printing plate arranged in or on the printing unit can be moved from a neutral position into a printing position against a resetting force. The printing unit is arranged with a housing, including an element featuring a pan bottom and at least one contiguous lateral wall stabilizing an ink storage body for receiving stamp ink, with a printing plate abutting against ink storage body for accepting stamp ink, and with at least the pan bottom formed to be liquid-tight. The support element features at least one sealable opening to connect with an actuator unit and/or which serves as a refill opening for stamp ink.
